TWO YEAR BLOGANNIVERSARY

On the 8th of August 2005, I started my blog, wrote and launched my very first post without knowing where it was going to lead me or how it was going to develop. It was a totally new concept and unknown territory for me...

Now, two years later, I am a hooked and assiduous blogger who can't imagine living without feeding this little baby or stay away from the blogging world for too long (not more than half a day!), because I would miss it all so much!

One could say that I am addicted to the internet and have no life whatsoever, but the fact is that behind it's virtual appearance the blogging sphere has roots in reality. I am a virtual world junkie, just a person who wants to share my interest with others, meet interesting characters and socialize, thus using my blog as a platform that is the link between both worlds...

Thanks to my blog and the community that evolves around it, I have discovered new horizons, I got to know friendly, like-minded and generous people, I have physically met certain bloggers with whom I have become acquainted, I have increased an ever growing taste for cooking/baking and experimenting with food as well as I developped a real passion for photography and writing "articles".

If I had not started a blog by accident (on the spur of the moment and without deliberating beforehand), I would never have got to know that "hidden" world behind the act of blogging. A dimension which makes the real world all the more bearable and enjoyable, where the individuals (most of them at least) are more enclined to be open and ready to share things with you. If I had not clicked on the "start" button of my dashboard on that late summer day in 2005, I would still be living in my one-dimensional reality and wouldhave missed a lot as those two years have made me learn much about, generosity, kindness, communication, openness, sharing and friendliness.

That's why I wish to thanks you all (bloggers, friends and visitors) for having brought me so much pleasure, happiness and joy, for having surprised me on a daily basis, for having commented on my blog, for having written me kind words that always uplift my soul and for your endless as well as faithful support!

Without you, "Rosa's Yummy Yums" would not exist. You are the energy that feeds this site, that makes it live and grow every day...

The blogging community would not be the same without your warmth, your kindness, your generosity and your presence. You are a real asset to this (not so) virtual world. Happy anniversary (and your morning glories are beautiful)

CONGRATS!!!! You've done such an amazing job with your blog, it never gets boring. I always check to see what new thing you've whipped up! By the way, that almond cake looks so incredibly moist, my mouth is watering!
